The defect
Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling certain 2013-2025 Car Hauler and 2017-2025 Stacker vehicles. Stress may crack and break the A-frame tongue, separating the tongue from the trailer.
The risk
A separated trailer tongue can cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will weld additional supports to the tongue tubes, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 4, 2024. Owners may call ATC customer service at 1-877-441-2440 ext. 342.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
